Gualserio Zamperini
For over ten years, he’s been committed in highlighting the Italian and Tunisian cultures,
acting as Honorary Consul General of Tunisia in Florence

Gualserio Zamperini is a visionary and a farsighted businessman, who has dedicated many years to social causes, for the promotion of the Italian and Tunisian cultures, as well as in activities linked to tourism, acting as Honorary Consul General of Tunisia in Florence. A “man of making”, as he describes himself, fully devoted to the realisation of significant projects that hold important human, social, cultural and commercial values. An effort that does honour to our city and also noticeably contributes to reinforce the friendly relations that unite Florence and Tunisia, so much so that last July 31st, Benji Caid Essebsi, President of the Tunisian Republic, nominated him Knight of the Tunisian Republic. An acknowledgement that represents a legitimate reason of pride for our fellow citizen, the only foreigner to receive this prestigious title, attributable to his constant work in trying to build a “bridge” of dialogue between Italy and Tunisia; a very delicate task, considering the crucial role of Tunisia in maintaining a balance in the Mediterranean region. Among the many initiatives that have been promoted thanks to Zamperini’s diplomatic actions, let us recall that, in 2016, by the will of the Municipality of Florence, the Symphonic Orchestra of the Maggio Fiorentino carried out a performance at the Roman amphitheatre of El Jem in occasion of the International Festival of Symphonic Music, in the name of the Friendship agreement between the cities of Florence and Tunis; in 2017, the Orchestra of the Italian Opera of Parma, accompanied by the Luciano Pavarotti Foundation led by Nicoletta Mantovani, carried out a concert to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the death of Maestro Luciano Pavarotti, while, in April of this year, the performance by the Cameristi della Scala of Milan and the exhibition of Florentine artist Luca Alinari took place at the prestigious Bardo National Museum in Tunis, one of the country’s iconic landmarks, which was struck by the violent terrorist attack of March 18th 2015.
